Kewmunity Festival 2012
The theme of Kew Festival
2012 is Kew-munity!
The 2012 Kew Community Festival runs from Friday 16 March to Sunday 25 March.
The Kew Community Festival is a well-supported family community festival capturing the diversity of Kew.
The Opening Concert and Fireworks display will be held at Hays Paddock, Longstaff Street, Kew East, on Saturday 17 March from 6.30 − 9.00pm, featuring the Hallmarks, 100% Aussie Hits, with guest performers Tania Doko from Bachelor Girl and Andrew de Silva from CDB, plus supporting acts.
The Kewmunity Day (previously known as Family Fun Day) and Yarra Trams Community Parade is to be held on Saturday 24 March, starting at 10.30am and finishing 4:30pm. The big news for 2012 is that the Community Day is to be held at Victoria Park, High Street, Kew. After many years at Alexandra Gardens, we have outgrown the venue, as lovely as it is.
As a result, the Parade route has changed and will now start at Harp Junction at 10.30am and proceed down High Street towards Belford Road, entering through the main gates of Victoria Park and finishing at main stage within the Park with an Acknowledgement of Country ceremony.
It has a rich history since 1974 of delivering quality events in Kew and involves activities and events presented over ten days attracting approximately 10,000 people.
The Kew Festival engages the community in the Community Day, the Grand Street Parade and other free entertainment and promotes activities provided by community groups.
The detailed 2012 program is now available on this site. Please note that the program is subject to change.
Tania Doko from Bachelor Girl will appear at the opening Concert on 17 March
